26... Rc3xc1
So I remove the rook, winning the exchange instead

 
27. Bd3
Blocking my intended R8c2

 
27... Qd4+ 28. Kb3
Ka2 allows Qa1#

 
28... Rc8c3+ 29. Ka4
Under time pressure I missed the mate in 3 after Rxa3

 
29... Rxh1
I take the rook instead

 
30. Qxh1 Rxd3
Should have taken with the queen, but at this point all moves win

 
31. Qc1
Final gamble, hoping i would allow a backrank mate

 
31... Qc3 32. Qxc3
Taking the queen, and essentially resigning

 
32... Rxc3 33. h4
My opponent could have resigned, but he choses to prolong the match. I quickly push my d-pawn forward and close out the match

 
33... d4 34. b5 d3 35. Kb4 Rc1 36. g5 d2 37. a4 d1=Q 38. b6 Rb1+ 39. Ka5 axb6#
Quite a pretty finish, checkmate with the pawn. And overall a strange match, as i tend to be far more cautious early on in a match, and very rarely do sacrifices seem to pay off.
